Description

Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1950 as one of the first models created especially for Carl Hansen & Son.
Casually classic, the chair derives a sense of lightness from its tapered legs and the dynamic angle of its back legs.
A supremely comfortable easy chair that is equally at home beside a coffee table or standing on its own.
